Ahh, Sunset Boulevard! Who
doesn't love the sights, sounds, and screams
that come with this amazing street? Here you can
plummet 13 stories, watch a beauty tame a beast,
get flipped upside down while on your way to a
concert, or even watch a mouse battle a dragon!

It really is an amazing street!
What's even more amazing is the fact that at one
point, Disney's Hollywood Studios didn't have
this extremely popular area, which brings us to
our Fun Find for the week:

I know. What on earth does this
trolley car have to do with anything I've talked
about so far? Let's flash back to the year 1994.
Behind a wall near the end of Hollywood
Boulevard construction was being done. Everyone
could clearly see the Hollywood Tower Hotel off
in the distance, but a brand new story was
taking place.

The story focused around the
Pacific Electric Railway Company that was slowly
going out of business (much like Who Framed
Roger Rabbit?). The story (which will be covered
in more depth in a future Fun Find Friday) was
recognized through a few different spots
throughout the park, but the most intriguing
opened with Sunset Boulevard in June, 1994.

So how does this trolley connect
a time before Sunset Boulevard with the Sunset
Boulevard we all know and love today? Imagineers
often let guests know when an attraction, park,
restaurant, etc. joined the Disney world in
subtle ways. Some times it's by a phone number
written on a wall, a code written on a parade
float, or a street address listed next to the
building.

In the case of Sunset Boulevard,
we will always know that this section of the
park opened in June, 1994 due to the trolley
cars numbers seen below:

So there you have it, 694 (6/94,
June, '94), will forever be remembered as the
month and year this section of the park opened
thanks to the Imagineers attention to detail!
